Can you give some concrete examples of someone being censured for criticizing people being called cancer-whore? It's not out of the realm of possibility, but that seems an extraordinary claim.

Do you actually have an opinion about people being called cancer whore out of the blue or are you just here trying to supress discussion about it?

Being called "cancer whore" is bad.

Claiming there's a big conspiracy of "political correctness which supresses discussion about this" is entirely unsupported thus far.
